Kathie, I have been checking and it looks like New Home and Westinghouse were synonymous with sewing machines. The New Home feet/manual also work for the Westinghouse - so I am wondering if the Westinghouse sewing machine is a badged New Home? New Home sold out to Brother sometime early/mid 1900's. Anyway, Westinghouse is a sewing machine somehow related to the New Home so this lady is partially right, but not a Singer for sure. Singer never badged machines.
